PDF/A-2b compliance issue

Post by dagen_d »

Hi, I'm trying to submit a PDF/A-2b compliant pdf and the recipient mentions it does not meet their compliance criteria. See attached error message.

My method to create the file is "File/Print", select "PDF-Xchange standard", select "Properties", select "General", "Conform to specifications", select "PDF/A-2b". I also have tried to select "Fonts" and check all boxes to embed fonts.

What am I missing?

HI dagen_d,

thanks for the post. From what did you print may I ask? I am keen to see the PDF if that is at all possible? If it is sensitive you can email it to support@tracker-sofytware.com and we will keep it confidential and destroy it when the investigation is over.

One thing I would be keen to know is whether it passes Pre-Flight if you do a "save As" from the Editor and choose PDF/A-2b from there?

Does that do better? We will definitely want to look at the one that failed if you can send it and the source file?
